NASA? I have read that NASA commissions large image sensors for space station, satellites, and the rest. I do know that Canon has made "image capture devices" for them in the past. Not all development is for cameras that ever reach an individual's hands.

Yes there are much bigger imaging sensors in use by the military and NASA (not made by canon though) but this is the biggest CMOS. Interesting to know whether is sensor is actually a bunch of APS-C sensors connected as one? Or maybe each one of those squares is a "full-sized" pixel? Imagine one pixel from this sensor is larger than your camera's entire sensor! ;^)
